About Quirks of Quarks

"Quirks of Quarks is a fascinating and creative collection of vignettes that captures different moods and explores the full range of sounds that can be made on the piccolo. It is virtuosic in both traditional and avant-garde styles and is a wonderful addition to the repertoire for professional piccolo players."- Nicole Riner, The Flutist Quarterly, Fall 2014

About Three Pieces for flute and piano by Cecile Chaminade

"These charming arrangements of piano pieces by Chaminade will be perfect for lovers of her Concertino. Lush harmonies and fluid writing are her trademarks and all three pieces have been skilfully adapted to show off the flute in all its glory. Highly recommended."- Just Flutes, London, UK
